1 In RSLogix, open your existing application, or start a new application,
depending on your requirements.
2 Double-click the I/O C ONFIGURATION
icon located in the Controller folder in the
project tree. This action opens the I/O Configuration dialog box.

the "Other" type IO card dialog box.

correctly for the MicroLogix processor, and then click OK to save your
configuration.
